very artistic, well done,

Very nice. High res looks great. Might have used something besides the gold table (or whatever it is) for the base though

The question is, is the scarecrow supporting, or trying to scare away VOLS? LOL!
Nice, sharp photo, good color!

Great shot, really makes you want to join in the fun.

@Mossy..there is no scaring away the Vol fans in TN

Wow, it looks like a painting Well done - and the image itself still contains the details of the tree. Well done

NIce 'catch' lol - it does look like a painting. Like the fall colours

The color enhancement is a bit overdone (the 'M' is blotchy, with black on the top left), and the focus is a bit too soft (the highlights look blurry). But it's a nice overall composition and color scheme.

Thanks MossyB. I went back to all the photos I took of this, without any adjustments, and the black shows up. I looked at the actual container which the blue is much darker than what appears on the monitors when uploaded. The only thing I can come up with is there is some shadowing from the leaves behind the container...not sure if that added to this or not. I am going to take some more pics just to see what happens when uploaded from my camera. I didn't notice it so thank you for pointing it out.

If you take a sip of soda while chewing those, does your mouth explode?

Naw just your tongue. lol.
